Well,
Large:
Well I guess I am really dumb.
I have read your post three times and there seems to be a problem that no one has mentioned.
Now I have no ideas what rules you are playing under. I don't know little kid rules, I don't know local rules but there is a problem:
"We go to extra innings. Home team pitcher has just pitched the first 7. He goes out to the mound and starts to warm up. The Home coach then asks me "hey, how many innings are they allowed per week?" I didn't know. In fact, nobody knew since the rule really hadn't been established yet. The home coach then has the pitcher and the SS switch positions. I go over and say "coach, you can't do that. Once a player throws a warm up pitch, he is required to pitch.""
By reading this it appears that it is the starting pitcher that has started to take his warm ups.
If that is true, why would you think he has to pitch to a batter? Dave Davis asks the same question.
The sub was a totally legal pitcher.
While it is crummy that any group (BTW, TEXAS requires umpires to now how many innings a pitcher is allowed to pitch in the game -- as dumb of a ruling as I have eer heard) to to require a pitcher to know anything about previous games is beyond me.
